I never thought they were bad at all, i actually had home made ones (7 of them) that i've been using sense 5th, and was one of the 1st units i tried in 8th..... and i played it completely wrong b.c i miss read the uni types and took them as 1 unit (Beastmaster and birds+Khymerae's).

Hmm now i'm thinking about it, i dont know anyone that thought any swarms where bad, the opposite, many notice they dont take dbl wounds now.

As the first guy to proselytize this evangel, I will say people thought I was nuts when I said 200 birds was a thing you could do. They said it was too weak, that they would never fit in a list, that they would get shot down, etc. Only through a steadfast devotion and study of the Book of Birb (Index Xenos 1) did I manage to convince people the Razorwing Flock is our key to victory.

I made a YouTube video outlining the strategy and it has nothing but dislikes, which is indicative of the second problem. People really freaking hate it when you tell them their game, which they thought was fixed, is in fact already riddled with broken lists. The bird list is just indicative of larger problems in the game as a whole which are only held at bay by people not running certain lists so as to be good sports.
